Its a big problem for American movies that all their movies are produced to be global.

If you know exactly what your character knows, its a drama.

Russian directors, we are shooting the same streets. The same things. Tom Jacobson has a fresh eye and found very interesting and very cool locations and angles and characters.

Moscow has an energy. Which is important. The city and the people all have an energy. It's quite different from what everybody knows in Los Angeles, but it has an energy. People have an energy.

Every commercial covers different ground, different ideas, and it's my profession to direct and to tell stories - for me, it's very organic.

Night Watch itself is a very Russian movie. Its impossible to imagine this kind of movie somewhere else: a movie with a depressing ending, a lot of inexplicable storylines, strange characters. Its a Russian reflection of American film culture.

I also have experience working with American producer Roger Corman who knows a lot of secrets in making movies look bigger than their budget.
